Both of those links refer to the same source. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10135604-2024-nfl-trade-block-big-board-entering-week-3

 

It's not a rumor, it's a suggestion as stated here:

"Still, the 28-year-old will be a free agent next offseason and could be a valuable trade chip if Carolina continues to flounder.

Receiver-needy teams could use Johnson, who caught 51 passes for 717 yards and five touchdowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers' No. 2 receiver last year. "

They call it a rumor in the headlines, but I was careful to frame it as weak or speculative.  The headline does not call it a suggestion, but that is what it seems to be.  I guess rumors are repeated suggestions or opinions with a supported premise based on facts, data, or logic.

Said it the other day, there is zero reason to keep him at this point

We're not signing him to an extension, he was brought in for someone we were cutting anyways, to give Bryce a better option on the outside, but Bryce sucks anyways and now is on the bench.

If we can get anything for him, we'd be stupid to keep him, we need draft assets, not rental players for the rest of a lost season.

And in reality, I'm also trading Thielen to a contender who could use his sure hands and route running, as again, we need assets and he's not part of our future anyways.

DJ has best WR in the league potential...  reminds me a little of prime AB or Diggs at his peak.  If we've learned nothing else over the last few years is - once you have an asset, you should do everything you can to keep them, because the return is often never going to get you your value back.  We also have a horrible habit of selling low.

I hope this isn't being considered.  Andy is gonna get him the ball.

I agree, lets see if he can preform if so offer him a contract.

I hope he does well because he is cool. Real easy to like. 

But very hard to understand. If there weren’t subtitles I wouldn’t understand 66.6% of what he’s saying. Not that that’s a bad thing. Seems like a good, down to earth dude who will do just fine when he’s playing days are done.

Xavier is getting plenty of play with Johnson on the team. You keep a guy like Johnson on the team because you will have another rookie next year. 

We've missed out on building a solid roster for so many years we're completely lost on what's in our best interest. Keep a very very good WR while we develop Mingo and XL. We need good players to mentor the younger players help them adjust learning and grow with help instead of having to figure it out on their own

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
